ETI ETIMAT 6 miniature circuit breaker 1P 32A D 6kA (2161519)

This ETI ETIMAT 6 miniature circuit breaker is designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits in distribution boards used in residential, commercial, and industrial installations. It is suitable for separate protection of supply lines, lighting circuits, and power circuits with elevated inrush current, especially where a controlled response to brief starting loads is required. The device has 1 pole and a rated current of 32 A, making it appropriate for single-circuit protection in low-voltage systems. The D tripping characteristic means the breaker tolerates short-term current peaks higher than the nominal value before tripping, which is particularly useful for circuits with electric motors, transformers, and other equipment that draws a higher current during start-up. This helps maintain uninterrupted operation of loads that would otherwise cause nuisance tripping with a more sensitive characteristic. The breaking capacity is 6 kA, which indicates the maximum prospective short-circuit current the device can safely interrupt under specified conditions. This parameter is important for the protection of wiring and connected equipment, as well as for the safe disconnection of fault currents in the event of a short circuit. The breaker operates on AC systems, with a rated voltage of 230/400 V and a rated frequency of 50/60 Hz, so it is compatible with commonly used single-phase and three-phase low-voltage networks. Another important parameter is the rated impulse withstand voltage Uimp of 6 kV, which reflects the device’s ability to withstand temporary overvoltage impulses in the electrical installation. The terminal design allows conductor cross-sections from 1 to 25 mm², providing flexibility during installation in different circuit configurations. The product complies with IEC/EN 60898-1 and IEC 60947-2 standards, which define the requirements for low-voltage circuit breakers and switching protective devices. Overall, this model combines a single-pole design, 32 A current rating, D curve, and 6 kA breaking capacity for use as a local protective device in modular switchboards, where dependable circuit separation and fault protection are required.
